Earlier today, Inventergy announced that chairman and CEO Joe Beyers will be presenting at three different investor conferences this month. Information on each of them is provided below. He will be sharing an overview of the company’s business highlights and updates on the company. In addition to the presentation, Mr. Beyers will also be available for one-on-one meetings.

Companies who consider themselves market leaders know their IP assets are vital to their corporate value. Even with this knowledge in hand, however, many corporations are not realizing the full value of their investments. While research and legal protection are important, Inventergy Global (NASDAQ: INVT) makes a solid case for focusing on the business of IP by way of enhancing its value.

Silicon Valley-based Inventergy positions itself as a licensing partner, committed to creating win-win arrangements with its clients. Investors themselves, INVT relates to the challenges their customers are faced with. The company mission is to provide increased value for their clients’ innovations with low levels of risk. Inventergy deliverables include structuring an IP licensing and value creation strategy for customer assets, decades of IP and business expertise and best practices, leveraging key industry relationships, accessing best-of-breed industry resources, integrating technology and market expertise to determine fair value – all with an approach to IP licensing that reflects the customers’ concept of their corporate brand and values.

Recently, INVT announced the bolstering of its presence in the global telecommunications industry with its new patent, US Patent Number 9,015,546 (4/21/2015). The patent is now part of the company’s substantial telecommunications portfolios acquired from Nokia, Panasonic and Huawei. The patent, entitled, “AUTOMATIC RETRANSMISSION REQUEST CONTROL SYSTEM AND RETRANSMISSION METHOD IN MIMO-OFDM SYSTEM,” is designed to improve data throughput performance.

Inventergy Global is a Silicon Valley-based intellectual property company that endeavors to identify, acquire and license patented technologies of today’s technology leaders. Company CEO and former head of IP and global strategy at Hewlett-Packard, Joe Beyers, uses decades of experience, market and technology expertise, and industry connections to assist Fortune 500 companies in leveraging the value of their innovations to achieve greater returns. Inventergy seeks to enable a new world of IP value creation built upon an ethical business platform.

Today, intellectual property licensing company Inventergy Global announced the strengthening of its presence in the global telecommunications industry with its new patent, US Patent Number 9,015,546 (4/21/2015). The patent is now part of the company’s substantial telecommunications portfolios acquired from Nokia, Panasonic and Huawei.

The newly issued ‘546 patent is titled “AUTOMATIC RETRANSMISSION REQUEST CONTROL SYSTEM AND RETRANSMISSION METHOD IN MIMO-OFDM SYSTEM,” and the covered technology helps improve data throughput performance. As an example, an invention described in the ‘546 patent enhances data throughput performance in various telecommunications systems by improving accuracy in the retransmission of signals and reducing the number of retransmission requests.

Joe Beyers, CEO of Inventergy, said, “The technology covered by the ‘546 patent provides further valuable advances in data throughput performance, a key for telecommunication service providers delivering ever-better service to their customers. Inventergy has developed processes to establish, maintain, and expand upon its IP portfolio. The addition of high quality, technologically relevant patents increases the value of the Company and its assets.”

In today’s corporate environment, the importance of understanding the true financial value of intellectual property (IP) can’t be overstated. To illustrate this point, one needs only to look at the value of these intangible assets as a component of the total market value of the S&P 500. According to a report from Ocean Tomo, approximately 80 percent of the total market value of these industry leaders has been made up of IP assets since 2005, and it’s shown little signs of decreasing. Inventergy Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVT), through the experience and expertise of its management team, is bringing a new way of thinking to this vital industry sector, ushering in a revolution for companies of all sizes.

Led by one of the world’s most recognizable IP innovators, Joe Beyers, Inventergy is working to help its clients determine and obtain the full value of their IP, leveling the playing field on an industry that’s become synonymous with backroom bullying and dirty deals over the years. By enlisting the services of Inventergy, clients can gain an ally in the IP world, negating issues that have plagued small companies for years in the IP world, such as a lack of internal resources, market savvy or connections.

Depending on the knowledge of Inventergy, companies can gain a sound value creation strategy for their assets with manageable levels of risk, which is absolutely vital to the growth efforts of companies in nearly every industry. According to Inc., some of the world’s largest innovators, including Google, Microsoft and Apple, have spent upwards of $18 billion diversifying and enriching their corporate IP portfolios in just the voice space, showing the massive importance of a well-developed IP strategy for companies of all sizes.

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, the patent system, and, indeed, IP in general, ‘added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius.’ With core competencies lying in the licensing and acquisition of this IP, it’s clear that the path for growth is expansive and promising for Inventergy in the years to come. As multi-billion dollar patent litigation deals continue to grab headlines, the value of more than 100 years of combined experience in the IP and technology industry should help Inventergy stand tall.

Today before the opening bell, Inventergy Global announced the strengthening of its financial management and investor relations processes with the goal of improving operational effectiveness and reducing fixed operating costs. As part of these changes, John Niedermaier has become Inventergy’s new CFO and the previous internal Investor Relations role has been replaced with an enhanced relationship with IRTH Communications. Mr. Niedermaier brings extensive experience in financial management and public company compliance, and IRTH Communications adds decades of public market experience.

“Inventergy’s core competencies lie in the licensing and acquisition of intellectual property,” stated Joe Beyers, Chairman and CEO of Inventergy. “This improvement allows us to keep our focus on these core areas, as we drive forward on our licensing programs. With these changes, we can efficiently leverage a breadth of external and flexible skill sets and resources for our financial management and investor relations/public relations processes.”

According to today’s press release, the change in the company’s financial management was also made to address recent recommendations made by its auditors. As part of the new initiatives to engage with investors, the company plans to participate in key upcoming investor and industry conferences in Los Angeles and New York, and in targeted roadshows in other cities. In addition, CEO Beyers will be presenting on Tuesday, June 16th at the IPBC Global 2015 conference in San Francisco.

Intellectual property (IP) rights are not intrinsically valuable by themselves. The value is derived from the strategic advantage the owner gains from preventing others from using the information. For value to exist, the individual or organization that possesses the IP is successful in preventing other parties from benefiting from its use. Absent a strategic alignment, the party possessing the IP is in jeopardy of squandering its investment and losing opportunities to gain market and competitive advantages.

It is widely accepted in the IP industry that the most valuable rights are the ones that contribute to creating unique strengths and the competitive advantages that follow. This in turn builds brand equity. The marketable value is in having the brand recognized as the only source of offerings that comes in forms such as desirable aesthetics, unique functionality or improved efficiency.

Five years ago, the technology industry led the charge of IP-intensive property by accounting for over a third of this country’s GDP. With the importance of IP continuing to trend upward as the year’s progress, Inventergy Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVT) is working to facilitate a change in market landscape in IP value creation due in no small part to the extensive knowledge and experience of its management team.

Acclaimed for his IP accomplishments at HP, Joe Beyers, Chairman and CEO Inventergy, launched the company for the purposes of aiding company’s in their pursuit of gaining higher levels of value from their inventions. With a win-win monetization model, INVT offers clients flexibility in their licensing efforts with shared revenue and a modest level of risk.

Employing efforts to expedite its licensing operations, Inventergy has announced agreements with several institutional and investors involving the purchase of $2.15 million of common stock. The company has earmarked these investments for working capital needed to support its licensing strategies.

Mr. Beyers commented, “We are extremely pleased by this round of funding that provides us additional resources to pursue the various deals in our current pipeline. This strengthens our ability to move those discussions along.”

Inventergy Global is an intellectual property investment and licensing company. By assisting technology companies with their licensing and patenting processes, it offers a model for IP value creation that provides short term returns and long-term licensing revenue. The company is headquartered in Campbell, California.

According to the United States Department of Commerce, the entire U.S. economy relies on some form of intellectual property (IP), because nearly every industry either produces or uses it. In 2010, IP-intensive industries, such as the technology industry, accounted for nearly 35 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, and the importance of IP continues to grow with each passing year. Inventergy Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVT), through the extensive knowledge and experience of its management team, is working to usher in a new world in IP value creation.

Highly regarded for his IP accomplishments at tech giant Hewlett-Packard, Joe Beyers, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Inventergy, formed the company to assist corporations in getting greater value from inventions and ideas. Using a win-win monetization approach, the company is able to provide clients with unmatched flexibility in their licensing efforts, leading to shared revenue with a managed level of risk. Through this method, the company is committed to becoming the leading industry standard in technology IP licensing in the years to come.

In an effort to accelerate its licensing operations, Inventergy recently announced agreements with several institutional and accredited investors involving the purchase of $2.15 million of common stock, which the company intends to use for working capital purposes in support of its licensing strategies.

“We are extremely pleased by this round of funding that provides us additional resources to pursue the various deals in our current pipeline,” stated Beyers. “This strengthens our ability to move those discussions along.”

With patent litigations on the rise and multi-billion dollar deals making headlines around the world, corporate executives are under intense pressure to properly manage and create value from IP assets. According to a report from Ocean Tomo, intangible assets made up 80 percent of the total market value of the S&P 500 in 2010, highlighting the extreme importance of adequately managing these assets. With over 100 years of combined experience handling more than $15 billion in IP and technology transactions throughout its leadership team, look for Inventergy to make significant strides towards increasing its share of the global IP market in the coming years.

One of the leading benchmarking outfits deriving IP (intellectual property) and intangible asset valuations over the years has been industry-leading financial products and IP-related services provider, Ocean Tomo. Their report published early last month showed that as of January 2015, intangible assets grew an additional 4% from previous calculations performed a decade ago, hitting a record 84% of implied intangible asset value for the S&P 500, meaning that more than ever before the vast majority of a company’s valuation resides firmly in their IP. High profile deals like the Lenovo (OTC: LNVGY) acquisition of Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOG) Motorola Mobility unit late last year, which amped up Lenovo and made the company one of the biggest players in the smartphone market, as they captured the entire range of devices from DROID to Moto X, as well as 2k patents and several patent cross-license agreements, shows just how hot the IP market is these days.

The long-running patent disputes between Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Samsung (OTC: SSNLF) is another key indicator here and the recent granting of several smartwatch patents to Samsung, with diagrams showing a round display smartwatch filed last year, puts Samsung in a position to contend directly with the Apple Watch and more fashionable Moto 360 in the rapidly emerging wearables category. TechNavio recently forecast that the global smartphone market is on track to realize an 8.1% CAGR through 2019 and this thriving environment creates a huge number of opportunities for keenly-focused players like Silicon Valley-based IP specialists Inventergy Global (NASDAQ:INVT), which leverages the immense experience of its veteran management team (that has handled over $15 billion in IP and tech transactions between them for global companies), to locate, acquire, and license significant tech patents.

With smartphones sales posting their highest ever growth at the end of 2014, up 20.3% in Q3 (66% of entire mobile market) according to Gartner, as low-cost Android smartphones and China’s booming market (460 million units in FY 2014, or 35% of global market) helped propel units shipped to all new highs, the launch last month of Inventergy Global’s new collaborative Mobile User Device licensing initiative for the company’s extensive 3G/LTE mobility patent portfolio, consisting of over 500 assets acquired from Panasonic (OTC: PCRFY), comes into strikingly sharp focus. The new licensing initiative provides standardized rates and terms to mobile equipment manufacturers and includes key patents that cover technical standards compliance technologies, known as SEPs (Standards Essential Patents). This superb initiative grants the company an increasingly diverse continuum of opportunities with mobile phone and device manufacturers, for a wide variety of IP licensing deals.

The execution this month of a successful series of definitive stock purchase agreements with institutional investors and accredited investors (set to have closed yesterday), valued at $2.15 million ($0.46/share), goes a long ways towards supporting the enhanced application of the company’s IP licensing strategy and the $2 million license arrangement announced in February of this year with a mid-tier IMS/VoIP telecom, should give investors further evidence of INVT’s momentum and methodology. Especially when you look at their reorganization of wholly-owned subsidiary eOn Communications Systems last month, with a decided emphasis on turning the subsidiary into a leaner and more profitable operation that can act as a revenue stream in support of INVT’s core patent licensing programs, as well as monetization and patent asset acquisition activities.

Not interested in being yet another patent troll, Inventergy is a serious IP licensing partner that is dedicated to creating mutually symbiotic arrangements. The company is more than just a shrewd developer of IP value with over a century of combined industry experience among its management, focused on structured IP licensing and value creation strategies. INVT is a true investment operation, meaning they put their own skin in the game and are in it for the long haul, representing an extremely attractive proposition for clients in the current environment.

With both the expertise, tech savvy and network of key, connected relationships within the industry needed to get the job done, Inventergy can act as an external source with the muscle to do what most companies simply cannot do themselves, fully realize the value of their intangible assets. Few companies today can boast similar prowess, as well as genuineness, when it comes to extracting the full potential of a company’s IP assets and INVT can help companies really go beyond typical R&D or legal protection, acting as a one-stop-shop ally for market leaders looking to harness their IP assets.

Inventergy Global, an intellectual property (IP) licensing partner, has entered into definitive agreements with several institutional investors and accredited investors who have agreed to purchase 4,673,914 shares of the company’s common stock at $0.46 per share for gross proceeds of $2.15 million. The company said it has allocated the proceeds for working capital purposes in support of its IP licensing strategies. The closing of the offering is expected to take place on or before April 7, 2015.

“We are extremely pleased by this round of funding that provides us additional resources to pursue the various deals in our current pipeline. This strengthens our ability to move those discussions along. We look forward to keeping our shareholders and prospective investors updated and are committed to becoming the leading industry standard in technology IP licensing,” Joe Beyers, chairman and CEO of Inventergy, stated in the news release.

A shelf registration statement (File No. 333-199647) relating to the securities issued in the offering has been filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A prospectus supplement relating to the offering will be filed by Inventergy with the SEC. When available, copies of the prospectus supplement, together with the accompanying prospectus, can be obtained at www.sec.gov.

Today before the opening bell, Inventergy Global announced that its CEO, Chairman and Founder, Joe Beyers, will be one of the speakers at the IPBC Global 2015, presented by Intellectual Asset Magazine (see http://www.ipbusinesscongress.com/2015). Mr. Beyers will be discusing how to build and maintain a successful licensing-based company, including:

• Understanding the challenges of the licensing landscape
• Building a robust IP portfolio
• Providing insight on new IP related business models

According to the organizers, “IPBC Global is the world’s pre-eminent gathering of senior IP business decision makers. Drawing on the large community of thought leaders based in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, as well those from further afield in the United States and abroad, the 2015 event will offer unrivalled opportunities to discuss cutting-edge issues and network with the people who make the IP weather.”

A massive collection of industries rely on the successful development and marketing of intellectual property (IP) in order to achieve substantial growth. As markets evolve, however, more companies are turning to solutions that allow for direct monetization of IP, allowing licensees to reduce research and development costs, while simultaneously alleviating much of the financial risk for IP asset holders. Inventergy Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVT), through its combination of unparalleled expertise and proven strategies, has created an improved method for realizing significant returns on IP assets through licensing efforts and shared revenue.

According to Statista, major tech firms including Samsung and Sony filed for over 3,000 new patents each in 2014 alone, and IBM trumped them both with over 7,500. As companies continue to claw for the cutting edge of the market, patent litigation cases are also reaching all-time highs. PwC reports indicate that there were approximately 280,000 new patents filed in 2013, and the number of cases filed involving patents rapidly approached 6,500, continuing upon an overall compound growth rate of 8 percent since 1991.

While virtually every industry (and the entire global economy) relies on some sort of IP, the amount of pressure on corporate executives to properly manage and create value from IP assets is increasing by the year. Inventergy focuses on the business of IP by creating substantial value from company assets that can drive clients’ short-term and long-term revenue to new heights.

By helping clients structure licensing and value creation strategies through the use of decades of business expertise, the qualified team at Inventergy allows companies to reflect their corporate values while determining a fair value for intellectual assets.

On the heels of its announcement of operational restructuring of wholly-owned subsidiary eOn Communication Systems, Inc., Inventergy looks primed to make major strides in the growing IP marketplace. With high profile cases including Apple’s $1.05 billion suit against Samsung, AOL’s $1.1 billion sale of 1,000 patents and Google’s $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility fresh on the minds of investors, the spotlight is shining more brightly than ever before on the importance of adequate IP management.

As executives continue to search out better ways of managing valuable IP assets, expect Inventergy to make major strides in growing its overall share of the critical market.

Inventergy is a Silicon Valley-based intellectual property (IP) licensing partner specializing in IP value creation. The Nasdaq-listed company focuses on identifying, acquiring and licensing patented technologies to enable market-significant technology companies to monetize and achieve more value from their innovations.

Industry veteran Joe Beyers, who led global licensing for Hewlett-Packard for 34 years, now leads a team of professionals with more than a century of combined experience and track record of handling more than $15 billion in IP and technology transactions. Leveraging this swathe of expertise, Inventergy covers every aspect of the IP business, from valuation and branding through legal analysis and patent sales.

Inventergy recently signed a $2 million patent agreement with a mid-tier telecommunication technology company engaged in IP multimedia subsystems (IMS) solutions. The deal provides a five-year license on two of Inventergy’s portfolios, which include 56 patent families comprised of more than 250 patents and patent applications. In total, Inventergy’s portfolio stands at more than 760 global patent assets.

Building an asset portfolio of this size takes strategic maneuvering when it comes to funding. In February 2015, Inventergy and Fortress Investment Group extended their existing business relationship and signed a $3 million financing deal that enables Inventergy to establish flexible payment terms with its IP licensees as well as additional capital to advance key licensing initiatives.

Forrester Research estimates that U.S. firms waste $1 trillion each year in underutilized IP assets by failing to achieve full value through partnerships. Inventergy’s approach to tighten this market sag is to work collaboratively with patent holders in the telecommunications sector to create portfolios with significant market potential and optimize overall return-on-investment.

Using existing business relationships, a solid licensing model, and a growing portfolio of assets, Inventergy seeks to expand its presence by pursuing maturing technologies already adopted in the marketplace and earning accretive value.

As part of the operational reorganization, ECS’s products and services are divided into three lines:

• A royalty bearing agreement with a third party for use of a private branch exchange business purchased from Inventergy’s predecessor, eOn Communications Corporation (“ECC”)
• A valued-added reseller business of biometric security and access control products
• A new business that provides outsourced sales, marketing and technical support services to business partners in the security products and services industry.

In addition, ECS has terminated a legacy business acquired as part of the company’s June 2014 merger with ECC. The resources from this business, which provided distribution services of facility security and access control products, has been redeployed to ECS’s biometric security and access control product line. ECS is managed by its president, Stephen Swartz.

The termination of the business and sale of remaining inventory and accounts receivables netted approximately $200,000 in cash for Inventergy. As a result of all of these changes, Inventergy expects the ECS subsidiary to be profitable and cash positive in the second quarter of 2015.

“We believe the restructuring of ECS supports our corporate growth strategy and enhances Inventergy’s business by adding additional revenue streams to our core licensing programs,” Joe Beyers, chairman and CEO of Inventergy, said in the news release. “Stephen Swartz has been instrumental in turning ECS into a business with increased operational profit potential. With Stephen at the helm of ECS, it allows the Inventergy management team to focus our energies on driving our core patent licensing, monetization and patent asset acquisition initiatives.”

An independent analyst report issued by Small Cap IR has set a “Buy” rating on intellectual property (IP) investor Inventergy Global, Inc., setting a price target of $1.20 per share on the stock and calling it a “compelling and very attractive” play.

California-based Inventergy identifies, acquires and licenses patented technologies primarily in the telecommunications sector. The company’s current patent portfolio includes more than 760 patents acquired from industry leaders.

“Inventergy has invested in a number of telecom areas like 3G, 3G Femtocell, 4G and IMS. As the company continues to augment its patent library from acquisitions, such as those from Huawei, Panasonic, and Nokia, the company strengthens its presence and leadership in strategic telecom segments. The position creates a significant profit opportunity for Inventergy and its shareholders, both near term and long term,” reads the report.

Careful to emphasize that Inventergy does not participate in “patent trolling,” but rather is focused on monetizing growth via partnerships alliances using the patents, the independent analyst in conclusion cites Inventergy’s industry-renowned leadership and overall value in the IP market as reason for the strong rating.

“Inventergy Global is a visionary leader in the IP industry because of its seasoned management who are recognized in the industry as world leading veteran IP strategists. The company’s large number of patents, its vision to monetize on these patents with a win – win relationship with clients who create innovative, world beating products is a compelling idea. IP is highly valued in the corporate world. The number and high value of IP transactions only point to its growth and contribution to economic value to leading companies in S&P 500. That is why we recommend INVT as a compelling idea and very attractive stock.”

The $1.20 price target represents potential upside of 81% from the stock’s current trading price. In Thursday’s early morning trade, shares of Inventergy are up 3.5% at $0.66 in a 52-week range of $0.39-$13.44.

Inventergy partners with world-class, market-significant companies who may lack internal manpower, budget or other resources necessary to realize appropriate return-on-investment. Through collaborative, business-centered, and forward-thinking strategies, Inventergy is able to create portfolios with significant market potential and optimize the innovator’s overall return-on-investment.

The company has established a network of key industry relationships to complement its solid licensing model and growing portfolio of assets, which currently stands at more than 760 global patent assets. Inventergy pursues maturing telecommunications technologies already adopted in the marketplace and earning accretive value.
